Ichabod SHEFFIELD (82) was baptized 23/26Dec1630 at St. Peter's Parish, Sudbury, Suffolk, England. He was described as traveling to New England, with his three (3) brothers, on or about 1644 at the age of fourteen (14) years. On July 10, 1648 he was received in Portsmouth, Newport County, RI as a Freeman (he owned property and could vote), and was on a committee "for the tryall of the General Officers". At this time he was actually eighteen(18) years old,lacking five months. He appears on the Roll of Rhode Island Freeman in 1655 as of Portsmouth, where his name is incorrectly printed as "Fred Sheffield".In 1658 he was in Cocheco, Dover, Rockingham County, NH with his brother William and was taxed there that year. He soon returned to Portsmouth, Newport County, RI and on 25 April 1666 he was on a petit jury in Portsmouth, RI. On 3 June 1672 he was chosen Constable. On 12 October 1684 he was on a town committee regarding the town's title to its land. This appears to have been concerned with the threatened annulment of the Colony's Charter by the Home Government. On 9 April 1686 he was on a committee to devide the town's common lands. On 7 April 1686 he was chosen a member of the Portsmouth Town Council and on 13 February 1689/90 he was elected Deputy from Portsmouth to the Colonial Assembly to be held at Newport.
The following is from the records:
"Proceedings of the General Assembly held for the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations at Newport the 26th day of February 1689/90
Deputies:
Mr. Ichabod Sheffield
Seventeen(17),in total, were chosen.
Benedict Arnold was one of the seventeen.
On 2 April 1690 Ichabod Sheffield was again chosen a member of the Town Council. On 22 June 1690 he was again Deputy from Portsmouth to the General Assembly in Providence, RI.
His ear mark (an identification mark or brand on the ear of a domestic animal to show ownership so they could put in the community pasture) was recorded in November 1667; on 5 March 1685/86 it was transferred to his son Joseph.
Ichabod's land lay in the central part of Portsmouth, midway between the Middle and West Roads and considerably south of the present meeting House Lane . On 26 September 1681 he purchased a tract of the land on the west side of the Taunton River from James Leonard Sr. of Taunton, Bristol County, MA. This tract lay, apparently, in what is now the town of Dighton, Bristol County, MA.
Late in life he appears to have moved to the home of his son, Nathaniel, where he died on 4 February 1712. He is buried beside Nathaniel in the Clifton Burying Ground in Newport, Newport County, RI. In 1995 I could not find any marker or stone for Ichabod's grave.
